A skewed poll mean nothing. Civil rights mean everything. If we polled people , you would most probably find a lot of things you did not intend. And any poll can be made to say anything you want it to. If they asked do you believe gay Minnesotans deserve the same rights as everyone else , you would get a different figure.

Why are why even considering public opinion when it comes to determining basic human rights?
Had we given into public opinion on women’s rights, they still wouldn’t be allowed to vote, well at least at the time, public opinion was against it in the UK
